Surf Therapy Success: Our Students Ride the Waves with the WAVE Project

Over the past six weeks, a small group of our students have had the incredible opportunity to take part in the WAVE Project — a transformative initiative that combines the power of the ocean with the healing potential of connection and movement.

Every Friday morning, these students have headed to the beach to participate in Surf Therapy, a unique programme designed to build confidence and resilience through physical activity, immersion in nature, and trusted adult relationships. Delivered in a safe, non-clinical setting, Surf Therapy helps young people feel seen, supported, and empowered — and the results have been nothing short of inspiring.

From the very first session, we’ve witnessed a remarkable shift in our students. The joy on their faces as they return from the beach each week speaks volumes. Whether it’s the thrill of catching a wave or the calm of being surrounded by nature, Surf Therapy has offered them a space to grow, reflect, and thrive.

We would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Jaz Bennet, whose dedication and vision have been instrumental in bringing this programme to life for our students. Jaz’s commitment to creating meaningful experiences has made a lasting impact, and we are deeply grateful for her support.

As the final wave rolls in on this six-week journey, we celebrate the growth, and happiness of our students — and look forward to more opportunities to connect, explore, and empower through initiatives like the WAVE Project.
